Francis - Saint Francis of Assisi Novena Holy Card

1. O glorious St. Francis,

who voluntarily renounced all the comforts and riches of your home to follow more perfectly the life of poverty and total surrender to Jesus Christ: obtain for us, we pray, a generous contempt of all things in this world, that we may secure the true and eternal things of heaven.

2. O glorious St. Francis,

who, during the whole course of your life, continually wept of the Passion of the Redeemer, and labored most zealously for the salvation of souls, obtain for us, we pray, the grace of weeping continually over those sins by which we have again crucified Our Lord Jesus Christ, that we may attain to be of the members of those who shall eternally bless His supreme mercy.

3. O glorious St. Francis,

who, loving, above all things, suffering and the cross, did earn to bear in your body the miraculous stigmata, by which you became a living image of Jesus Christ crucified: obtain for us, we pray, the grace to bear in our bodies the mortifications of Christ, that we may merit one day to receive the solid and unfailing consolations which are infallibly promised to all those that now weep.
